INDIAN TRAIL deservedly got his head in front when winning comfortably at Sandown last week and while this looks a stepping stone for the Ayr Gold Cup later this month, he looks like the one that they all have to beat today. The hat-trick seeking Golden Dixie has been in great form of late and looks sure to go close after his recent Goodwood success, while Barry Hills' filly, Special Day, looks set to run her usual solid race.

OLYMPIAN ODYSSEY ran a solid race on his return after a long lay-off when finishing third in a decent field at Salisbury last time out and with further improvement expected, he looks sure to mount a bold bid in this. Caldra finished behind the selection on his latest outing and although he does not look like reversing the form, he should give a good account. Saeed Bin Suroor's other representative, Winged Cupid, is another worthy of consideration.

Hughie Morrison's charge, SAKHEE'S SECRECT, showed significant improvement to land the Darley Cup at Newmarket last time out and looks a very talented individual who could prove a cut above his rivals this afternoon. French raider Marchand D'Or won the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville on his latest outing and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the shake-up here, with Richard Hannon's Asset also holding possible place claims.

Luca Cumani's SAMURAI WAY has been in great form of late and after finishing second to useful type (who has finished third in the Ebor since) at Goodwood last time out, he looks sure to play a leading role in this contest. Regal Flush finished with a wet sail when winning at Goodwood on his latest outing and with this step up in trip not a concern, he should have his say in this. Elsewhere, Clive Cox's gelding, Dansili Dancer, is another that warrants respect.

The progressive LITTLE BIG BOY stayed on strongly when winning at Newmarket last time out and with this step up in trip likely to suit, he could prove difficult to beat today. Royal Confidence justified her skinny odds when winning cosily at Sandown on her latest outing and with further improvement likely, she looks sure to be thereabouts at the finish. Bryan Smart's Guertino finished a close fourth at York on his latest start and is another that cannot be easily dismissed.

Andrew Balding's representative JEDEDIAH stepped up on his recent performances when winning in good style at Sandown last time out and must go close this afternoon if he is to justify his entry in the Juddmonte. Campanologist finished a creditable fourth in the Acomb Stakes at York on his latest outing and should produce a good display with less on his plate here, while recent Ayr winner Dubai Time is another in with a squeak.

The consistent SEEKING THE BUCK ran his usual solid race when finishing second at Newbury last time out and with this drop in trip not a concern, he is given the vote to go one better today. Five A Side appears to be heading in the right direction and should go close after his recent narrow defeat at Ripon. Mark Tompkins' Grand Art is on a hat-trick mission after winning in gritty fashion at Chester on his latest outing and is certainly no forlorn hope in his current mood.
